Today we toast to all of the intrepid restaurateurs who are willing to work long hours and have a lifestyle like nobody else! Although our guest, David Pisarra, doesn’t run a restaurant, he does have a unique lifestyle... and he wears a LOT of hats: he is a columnist, author, speaker, filmmaker, podcaster, mentor, dog lover, and father’s rights lawyer.   This episode is sponsored by Ora Organic, my favorite supplement company because they use only organic and sustainable ingredients in ALL of their supplements, the products forking work, and who doesn’t love sexy packaging, right?

ENJOY! Check out Ora Organic Here       I adore David’s column in the Santa Monica Daily Press. His articles are not always about food – it fluctuates between politics, local life, and an ongoing search for the most comfortable comfort food – but food is always important in these pieces because David sees it as the great equalizer. Everybody comes together over food. We also discuss: David’s approach to writing about restaurants & food How loving dogs influences every other part of your life (like, say, writing a book that combines your family law practice with pet ownership issues during breakups and divorces) The Santa Monica vibe Why pie is better than cake The power of podcasting as a tool to educate & empower David’s upcoming project: Podcasting for Professionals How you can get more comfortable with public speaking (hint: join Toastmasters) Giving speeches about food – pie and chocolate, specifically Changing the conversation with The Good Men Project Resources: Learn more at davidpisarra.com Connect with David: Twitter | Facebook Read David’s column: smdp.com/author/dpisarra Find a Toastmasters Club near you: toastmasters.org/find-a-club TheGoodMenProject.com
